Margy Kinmonth’s feature documentary shines a light on the trailblazing role of women war artists from around the world, championing the female perspective on conflict through art and asking: when it’s life or death, what do women see that men don’t? Artists featured in the film include those from the RAF Museum’s Collection, such as Dame Laura Knight, Rachel Reckitt, Gladys Hynes and Fiona Banner, alongside many other British and international names, including Marcelle Hanselaar, Dame Rachel Whiteread, Maggi Hambling, Lee Miller, Cornelia Parker, Maya Lin and Zhanna Kadyrova. An entirely female cast of contributors makes this film a unique undertaking, telling vital truths in turbulent times.
The film will be followed by an audience question and answer session with film Director Margy Kinmonth led by Art Curator Julia Beaumont-Jones. There will also be an opportunity to see key works by women war artists, including Fiona Banner, in the Art Gallery exhibition, To the Stars: Illuminating the Art Collection in 50 Works.
